Product Description

In October 2006, its high amount of unsaturated fat earned it
authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
a qualified health claim. The claim is: "Limited and not conclusive
scientific evidence suggests that eating about 1 tablespoons (19
grams) of canola oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart
disease due to the unsaturated fat content in canola oil. To
achieve this possible benefit, canola oil is to replace a similar
amount of saturated fat and not increase the total number of
calories you eat in a day. One serving of this product contains [x]
grams of canola oil."

The low level of saturated fats and wide range of functionality has
made canola oil a popular option for food services looking to
decrease trans fats in their food. Recently, KFC in Canada, Taco
Bell throughout North America and McDonald's in the U.S. have
switched to using canola oil or a canola oil blend in their food
service operations.
